Geelong, Australia Education Full time

Location: Geelong

Job type: Full time / From 01/05/2023

Organisation: Education

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1340594

**Selection Criteria**:
SC1 Demonstrated experience in addressing a range of student wellbeing needs, both through individual counselling and facilitation of small group therapeutic programs.

SC2 Demonstrated experience in working in effective teams and demonstrated experience in developing new initiatives.

SC3 Demonstrated experience in keeping confidential, professional records and case notes.

SC4 Highly developed communication and interpersonal skills, including the demonstrated ability to network with a wide range of people.

SC5 Ability to provide leadership and professional learning that informs and influences the work of others involved in the engagement and wellbeing of children and young people.

SC6 Demonstrated ongoing commitment to developing professional understanding and expertise in the area of student wellbeing.

**Role**:
[Attendance requirement for this position]

Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of professional support services. The role will usually impact beyond the work area or professional field. It seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, operations or educational programs.

Direction on targets and goals is provided but the position will have some degree of latitude in determining how they are achieved. This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy. Deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.

The provision of business management responsibilities becomes a feature at range 3. Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility. Staff management issues will be resolved with mínimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases. Senior management will be provided with timely reports and advice, although this will generally be confined to matters relating to the immediate work area, service provision or educational program and is unlikely to impact substantially on whole of school operations.

This is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years. Professional student support positions become a feature at range 3 (e.g. therapists, psychologists) where standard professional services are delivered. Professional support and guidance will be close at hand and deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.

An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students, but must not include duties of teaching as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor. Supervision of students cannot be required except where it is an integral part of the employee¿s position or involves supervision of students individually or in small groups, in controlled circumstances, where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.

**Responsibilities**:

- Develop and maintain healthy and positive working relationships with students, staff, care givers and student support service providers and networks
- Assist students on an individual or group basis with wellbeing needs
- Facilitate or organise small groups and activities for students around aspects of behavioural change
- Liaise with Department of Education services, external agencies and professionals as needed to support student wellbeing needs
- Plan and implement evidence based intervention strategies for students as needed
- Develop meaningful case plans and goal setting with students
- Keep relevant, professional and up-to-date case notes on identified students in order to monitor progress and develop support plans
- Support Leadership Team in responding to critical incidents
- Alongside the Wellbeing team, provide professional learning to staff to build capacity
- Liaise with families and carers regarding student wellbeing needs, including development of Safety Plans, Re-engagement plans and being a part of SSGs where required, alongside Year Level Managers or Assistant Principals
- Provide information about services and resources for students and carers
- Contribute to the development of wellbeing policies, processes, programs and strategies
- Liaise with the Wellbeing Team to ensure a consistent and agreed approach to wellbeing at the school
- Other duties as requested by the Principal

**Who May Apply**:
Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.
